While not as gutsy as his half sister he is a bit more smoochy, much more content to come over for scratches. He'll almost climb into my lap for a cuddle and is already easy to coax over!
Lyric is very fond of her dad, she calls to him in the morning before he comes out to his yard and she spends a lot of time talking to him through the fence.
Twinky is still feeling protective so I'm mostly handling him at food time. He gets sulky because she's ignoring him and the milk bar is closed while she eats so he comes over for snuggles instead
I have a few mares who, like Twinky, fully intend to keep their food and their milk to themselves. LOL!! Yes, it is a great time to get attention from their babies - sometimes moody mares can be a asset.
I had to come back up to the house in the dark again
Sterling has started "hooking on" to me at feeding time, he'll happily abandon his mum and follow me anywhere in the paddock for more scratches! I know all foal coats are soft but this guy has a REALLY soft coat!
I'll have to try and grab some new photos today, hopefully I won't just get interesting shots of muzzles
I'm really looking forward to how Tinker mixes with my mares, he has his little group of four and I hope they all take!
I'll be gone over the weekend and leaving my Dad in charge of feeding. SO I have to survive at least 2 days with no foal snuggles! Not sure how I'll cope
